Thanks for the wonderful comments. Daddy days are something I aspire to and manage to accomplish - at least with the older ones. The youngest are a bit too young to be aware - within a year that will change. The youngest get Daddy moments.

The dance lessons are something my wife and I have done on and off for years. After practicing together for a while, it's thoroughly enjoyable, but rough when we first start.

Of course, I'm uncertain as to how the new job will affect work-life balance. My boss seems to be challenged with this matter - though he holds it in very high esteem - perhaps, for him, it is more of an aspiration and goal.

i am just over 30 years old, and have in the past year become very obsessed with my retirement. i've had a roth IRA for a few years now, but only recently learned that as a part time employee where i work, that i could contribute to my 401k.

i'm just curious, how does someone like you at age late 30's, have a net worth of over 600,000 ALREADY?

also, goals like increasing your networth over 100,000 in a year, how does one go about doing something like that?

and what do you mean by "fully funding mom and dad's 401k"? how can an individual do that for someone else?

i am learning about the terminology used in retirement talk. any help would be great.

I've jsut reviewed my goals for this year. At the end of Q3, my bed's fairly well made.With exceptional effort I can improve some of these items, but not everything. It will really be a question of priority.

Next month I'll try to make a formal assessment.

The big points here are:

1. Cash reserve $11.5k - quite a bit lower than expected, however, I did convert about $25k of prior balance into investments.2. Blog traffic has not been as succesful as planned (to date) - about 66% of year end goal.3. quite a few of my family and personal actions never came through - especially due to the overwhelming impact of the new job.

On one note, my networth goals so far have exceeded plans, however, in light of my personal / family goals not being met, I'm uncertain to say it's a superior accomplishment.
